Nf TALK OF THE POLITICIANS FonUneUei Bg Money for Their Sheriff Candidate. Touennra committee sent out SollrMora Are) Trylaar to Oet Same Cash for tha Exeletalve- Bene flt of This On Hon oa Ticket. A "touching" committee has been mak ing the rounds of some of the business men to raise money for the candidate for sher iff, endorsed by the FontaneDe machine, the funds to be put in a private purse for hla benefit to the exclusion of the other candidates on the Fontanelle ticket. The scheme haa leaked out and Is not calculated to maintain the best of feeling among the Fontanelle bravee, who are convinced that the man they picked for sheriff on the out side Is working for himself alone and not trotting square with hla associates. "We made tha mistake of our lives," ad mitted one of the Fontanelle governors at the McKlnley club dinner, "In fixing up our slate. Wa ought to have stayed with the members of our own club who have claims upon us and stopped there. The re sult la that wa have loaded down our own friends with several dead weights. Tou may be aura we won't make that mistake a second time." " Emmett O. Solomon would come as near being the Ideal county comptroller aa any one could come. He knowa how the busi ness of every office In the county court house ought to be handled, so far as re ceipts and expendlturea go, and he Is tha best posted man on oounty finances In the county. If all the dogs In Douglas county could only vote, M. J. Greevey Is sure he would be the next county sssessor; He Is telling around how he went to the front for tho persecuted canines when . Mayor "Jim" tried to cage them behind wire masks, and that the publicity thus acquired Is sure to make him tha unanimous choice of every one who was mulcted for the price of a dog ntussle. The sentiments of a man's closest asso ciates sometimes speaks volumes. Over at the court house where "Bob" Smith haa been entrenched for two or three years there Is not a man with a single word to say In his favor outside of one Janitor, two eounty commissioners and two or three employe in Smith' own office. ' Frank A. Furay Is finding friends In un expected placee In his preliminary canya for the republican nomination for county treasurer. He used to work In the office of Cudahy's packing plant and eame In contact with a large number of South Omaha people, who are now remembering him with boosts that count. "Tea didn't get that quite right about Tony" Donahoe being grand marshal of the Labor day parade." explains labor union man. "He Is not to be grand mar shal, but only chief aide to the grand mar shal, but he will be at the front just tint same. But wait, till next year, after he H elected sheriff and we'll make Mm ' grand marshal. A Labor day parade behind Sheriff Donahoe as the leader of the host would be great. I guess that would makn the bloated capitalists sit up and take notice- , r After an office, but not even a legal voter. That la the predicament . A. G. Edwards, who wants the republican nomi nation for county treastfrwiTfound himself In. Only last Saturday Mr. Edwards se cured aa affidavit of registration which h hope will cure the defeot.- tt happens that In May. 1905. Mr. Edwards filed on n 1(0-acre homestead In Deuel county, mak ing the ususl affidavit which bound him to take up his residence there. By ..this he relinquished his residence ta Omaha, although he did not moveto Deuel county as he promised. A few months ago objec tions from his family and a contest over tha homestead caused him to forfeit his claim on It. Mr. Edwards la going on the theory that relinquishment of . his home stead claim re-establishes hla residence in Omaha, because he did not actually leave here, though his legal residence waa Deuel county. He did not register last fall. Con sequently, though a candidate for. office, he found himself unable to vote at the pri mary at which he sought the nomination without being specially registered by the city clerk. The Bohemian Independent club will hold an open meeting thla evening at Met haU on South Thirteenth atreet near Williams. Candidates for offloa will be present, and tha Issues of the -campaign will be dis cussed. Frank W. Bandhausr, . president of the club, will be In the chair. CHILD OUT 0NTHE WORLD Tea-Year-Old Wanderer Dependent net Charity ta Hla Mew tatlaa. Cast eft by hi father In Chicago, James McDonald, 10 year of age. Is a homeless wanderer dependent on the charity of the local probation officer. James was taken from his father by the Chicago authorities and placed with his .aunt. He became dis satisfied and ran away, getting as far as Omaha, where he was delivered to the local probation authorities. Mogy Bern stein communicated with hie father through the Chicago police, bat a letter from the police department says Mr. McDonald has refused to have anything to do, with the boy. Hts aunt haa no money to pay hla way .back and James appears to be slated for an Indefinite stay in Omaha.- The pro bation officers will probably ask the eounty board to donate the price of a ticket baok to Chicago for him. . . .i, .'. .'.

God-fearing people and are still aealously devoted to their church duties. Several of the party have not been away from their home town for twenty years until their present visit to Omaha. The party arrived In Omaha Tuesday night sa guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fayne, who met them at tha station with automo biles and took them at once to Gray Rocks.

The house was built last year. HIGHER RESPECT FOR ARMY This, Bays General Godfrey, Is Heeded Today Than Bat tar rood. More Disclaiming that army rations are In adequate, Brigadier General E. 8.

"Adjutant General Noyes Is now preparing a list of the events In which the regulsr troops will participate. The question of securing sufficient recruits for the army Is becoming an Interesting one snd I am glad to hear from The Bee that there la a alight Improvement In the num ber of applications at the Omaha recruiting station. "My observations, based upon close asso ciation with large bodies of troops at Fort Riley and elsewhere do not coincide with the proposition that' there Is just cause for complaint for the quantity or quality of food furnished the regulsr army. If there Is any fault of Inadequate food trfat fault must lie with the company kitchen and not with the commissary de partment Only the very best grades cf food are purchased for army uses, and that, too. In sufficient quantities and varie ties to supply every reasonable and requisite demand., - i , "What la needed for the improvement of the army la a higher respect for the army uniform. In times of peril the uniform cf a soldier commands the highest' respect. The profession of arms Is an honorable one and the misconduct of a fow men who may disgrace the uniform of a soldier should not condemn the entire army. In asmuch as tha uniform of a soldier Is looked uf on with respect and reverenoe In times of war, so should It be regarded In times of peace."

DENVER GETS MORE MOTORS Colorado it GiTtn Three of Large union Paoifio Cart. run mile a smnrrx, at least Test of Thee Sen Passeager Carry alls Prove Then to Be Saeeeea fol aad Mere Arc Coming. Three new 200 horse-power care No. 10, 11 and 13 have Just been placed In service cut of Denver, Colo. This Union Pacific delgn of motor car engine on No. 12 tested out with a hydraulic brake test of 500 revolutions at 260 horse-power. These .cars alt run sixty miles an hour and some sixty-five snd seventy miles. The endurance test of motor car No. 12 en route ta Denver August 22 was one of the severest and was the most successful trip ever made under gasoline power The car had only made two short trial trips and made the run to Denver from Omaha, a distance of 668 miles. In sixteen hours and thirty-four minutes. The Overland Lim ited train's time Is seventeen hours fifteen minutes. Running as second section of the Limited the csr suffered considerable delay. Etlmlnatlng all these delays, the car av eraged while In motion a speed of forty four miles an hour.' On July 29 the motor car was tested out, handling successfully back and forth over tho same track ten empty freight cars.

' ' All the parts of the transmission, the trucks and the engine are made of stand ard stemplates and Jigs so that the parts are interchangeable and In case of any part wearing out the same can be replaced with the ordinary expense of labor and aiaterlaL Cars Seat Away froaa Here. Much comment has been passed on the policy of the Unloq Pacific In sending so many of these cars away from this section. Omaha people had hoped they might be able to derive some benefit from them by having them In service nearer home. The Union Pacific has compiled figures to show the most satisfactory work which Is being done by the motor cars In opera tion in Kansas and Nebraska. The statis tics show the success of the cars during the month of July on the lines between Kearney and Callaway, Beatrice and Lin coin, St. Paul and Loup City, and Leaven worth and Lawrence. The cars made a total of 207 tripe, on which they made schedule time 16 times, Including seven times when they left initial points late and arrived at destination on time. They carried 8,639 passengers and ran .Wt miles. Beaker of Information. A seeker after Information regarding homeeekers' excursions has written to the Union Pacific office in Omaha. The letter Is Interesting because of Its straightfor ward tone. No flattering sycophant nor simpering grafter M this. Hs writes In a stralghtforwsrd manner and says what he means. He Is a man who prides him self In the fact that he pay for what he get. The letter followa: , Agent Union Paclflo, Omaha: Could you sell a homeseekers' excursion ticket to the Pacific coast and providing that I waa not estlsfled with my destination, could I get the same rates to other points on your road without delay.' and If I should need more time than twenty-one days could I get the time extended. , (Signed.) p s.

A general Increase In the wages of all station agents and clerks on the Missouri Pacific system has been made. News of the Increase was received In Omaha from the headquarters In St. Louis Thursdsy by Superintendent Bevlngton. The Increaae la to take effect August 1 Because of the fact that the greater part of the pay roll for August has already been made out ths Increase will not be In cluded In many of the checks for August. It will be added to the Beptember check, together with the regular Increase due to be applied on that month. The agents and clerke are the last to get the benefit of the Increased wages on the Missouri Pacific. Nearly all the other em ployes have already received their Increase. The Railway Age announce that the contract for making Improvement costing 115,000 on the local Missouri Pacific termin als have been let to the Blanchard Con tracting company of Topeka, Kan. At the local offices of the compsny nothing waa known of this matter, though It was stated that the engineers from St. Louis were In the city recently looking over he situation and making estimates with a view to this.

Bancroft, vice president and general manager of the Ore gon Short Line, is to resign that position and be succeeded by E. E. Calvin, vice president snd genersl manager of the Southern Pacific road. . This report of Mr. Bancroft's resignation came following tha recent visit ot E. H. Harrlman to the west, together with the statement that various other chsnges would be made In the Harrlman lines. This Is all denied.
